Welding fabrication invariantly involves three district sequential steps: preparation, actual process execution and post-weld inspection. One of the major problems in automating these steps and developing autonomous welding system, is the lack of proper sensing strategies. Conventionally, machine vision is used in robotic arc welding only for the correction of pre-taught welding paths in single pass. In this paper, developed vision processing techniques are detailed, and their application in welding fabrication is covered. The software for joint tracking system is finally proposed.

본 연구에서는 용접선 추출의 방법으로 현재 많이 사용되고 있는 용접선을 따라 연속적으로 이미지를 얻어 처리하는 사전관찰(preview)기법을 개선하여 용접모재를 한번에 촬영(snapshot)하여 화상처리를 거친 후 용접정보가 들어 있는 CAD database와 비교, 매칭시켜 필요한 용접정보를 획득하는 새로운 방법을 제시한다. 또한 정확한 꼭지점을 추출하기 위해서는 정확한 직선식이 필요한데 이의 계산에는 허프변환(Hough Transform)이 이용되고 있지만 계산시간이 많이 소요되며 부정확하다. 계산시간의 감소 및 정확도의 향상을 위해 기존의 허프변환(Hough Transform)을 개선한 수정된 허프변환(Modified HoughTranform)을 개발하였다.

Experimental models which are able to determine the deviation between weld line and weaving center by measuring the weld current during welding were proposed for the gas metal arc welding process. The models were used for developing a weld seam tracking system which controls the weaving speed of a welding torch. However, it was revealed that the tracking result of the system is affected by the welding conditions. Thus an arc sensor system was developed by using fuzzy control approach for overcoming the difficulty of modelling the nonlinear process. The rule base and parameters of the fuzzy control system were determined on the basis of the results of experiments. This fuzzy control system has shown the successful tracking capability for the wide operating range of welding conditions.

Recently, the use of Robot increase little by little for the purpose of developing a welding quality and productivity in the welding part. It is more important to contact the seam for arc welding before moving a welding robot. There are two types of method to contact the seam namely contact and non-contact type largely. In this paper, image processing sensor(a kind of non-contact sensor) is concerned to track the seam by using laser diode and CCD camera. A structured laser diode's light illuminated on the weld groove and the reflected shape is introduced by CCD camera. The image board captures this image and software analyzes this image. The robot is moved and welded exactly as acquired image X-Y data is changed with robot's X-Y value. Also, most of seam tracking are considered by changing the program simply in case of the different weld groove of plane surface.
